coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/31/2019 7:55 pm It is beginning to show that is is going to get serious on later coins struck with that die. But so far, it is just moving on at this point. Note how the crack is flowing south, getting wider on the wheat grains at this point. But had not moved to crack again to the rim yet. (The die is in transition at this point) Edited by coop 05/31/2019 7:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3659 Posts	Posted 06/01/2019 12:13 pm Fun find! This one appears to be just a die break at this stage. I looked at the retained Cud listings (n/k/a "pre-cuds") on cuds-on-coins, and can't find a match. This suggests either that the die was changed before the crack extended back to the rim and the broken piece shifted or that there is another unlisted Retained Cud to hunt for. I'd put it in a 2x2 just because it shows something interesting about the stresses placed on the wheat reverse dies in the high mintage later years. I've always suspected that the reverse die stresses were as much behind the 1959 reverse redesign as much as Lincoln's 150th birthday anniversary. Report this Post to the Staff
